Back again for its ninth consecutive year, the UK’s number one place of worship for all things super hardcore or brutish metal Ghostfest is back with two stages of zero clashes, getting rid of the third stage they introduced for last year’s event. Still, the two date plan remains, each with secret headliners announced just a couple of weeks before its kick off, and with 40 bands in total, it looks like the weekend of welcomed punishment will be as strong as ever.

Metal and hardcore weekender Ghostfest have announced that the festival will return to Leeds University in June, along with the first 16 bands to make the festival line-up, with 2 secret headliners still to be announced. You can check out the poster below along with ticket information and all of the bands announced so far:
